Whew-what a long name! My goodness.
Anyway, this creamy moisturizing mask is LOADED with skin loving ingredients.
For 3.4 oz this runs around $60.00.
The colorless silky texture feels like butter on my skin, it makes for a perfect overnight treatment.
I use it that way after an exfoliation or when my skin feels extraordinarily dry. Pump about a dime size into the palm of your hand and on a clean skin moisturize this mask all over. Don't forget the neck and chest too! Night night. Then rinse off in the am with tepid water.
There are pomegranate enzymes in this product which gently exfoliate so your skin can better absorb the moisturizing ingredients like, vitamins a, c and e. There's also sweet almond oil and konjac mannan (an Asian plant) which are nourishing to the skin. Your skin will be dewy and calm.
This mask would be wonderful for any skin except severe acne. Use on an "as needed" basis.

Bosley Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner for visibly thinning, color treated hair
I've been using this new thickening shampoo/conditioner for about 3 weeks now and it works really well for my thinning hair. Available at salons.
I wash and condition my hair every other day or every 3 days.
I use a dime size for shoulder length hair and really work the product into the scalp. Rinse after 4-5 minutes. Same with the conditioner.
It leaves a tingle on the scalp but feels stimulated and comfortable at the same time.
There are lots of ingredients that are known to thicken and add volume to hair. Here are a few in these products: Sage extract, Keratin proteins through Pentapeptides, Kelp extract and Rice amino acids.
It smells neutral and not medicinal at all.
What drew me to use this line was that it's not a multiple step program that has to be done daily. The thinner the hair the less it should be fussed with including washing, blow drying, curling, flat ironing, etc.
I recommend to anyone who is prone to hair thinning to give this a try. Easy to use without the fuss.
Enjoy!!!

Lumene Vitamin C+ Invigorating Eye Serum
I'm a fan of this budget friendly line from Finland.
Available at CVS Pharmacy and around $15.00.
This roll-on eye serum feels really light on the skin and absorbs fast.
I use it a.m. and p.m. under moisturizers. Just start from the outer corner of the eye(lower orbital bone) and roll inward toward the inner eye. Then roll right in the middle of the brows.
I particularly like that the serum absorbs and leaves no residue or sticky feeling. It's easier to apply moisturizers afterward.
For those who don't want to fuss with dipping fingers into products, this roll-on sure is easy and clean.
The Vit C and Lingonberry help to brighten the eyes and stimulate collagen.
With all of the anti-aging eye rollers coming out now, this one is worth a try.

Moroccan Oil Hydrating Styling Cream
This 10.2 oz cream is a bargain at over twice the amount of product and around $10.00 cheaper than the actual Moroccan Oil hair oil. It also comes in a safe plastic bottle with a pump.
This styling cream disintegrates into the hair and smells just like the actual oil. * Don't get me wrong, I love the oil too but this is a better budget-friendly version and it's the same product line!
Anyway, after I wash my hair, I pump about 2 pumps (medium length, thinning hair) into my hands and work it from the scalp down to my ends. Leave in.
I use it on the days I don't use a conditioner in the shower. I air dry but blow drying would be fine. It's a quick fix for those mornings that you really can't have Calgon take you away! But the way it makes your hair smell makes you forget about mad-dash mornings!
It's pure Argan Kernel Oil w/ a secret patented fragrance. It's that secret fragrance that puts this particular line at the top of the Argan Oil express train. I've tried other products that have the argan oil in them, but they just don't smell like this line at all. This smells a little musky with a hint of mandarin. On the days I don't wash my hair, I'll use this to get that scent and shine that it gives.
This styling cream is a leave-in conditioner/hydrator that takes away frizz and gives the hair shine.
It doesn't have a sticky texture at all. My newest fave.

SILKPEEL Dermalinfusion
This is the non-invasive, newest generation of microdermabrasion.
Frankly, it rocks!!! Here's why:
- the top layer of skin (stratum corneum) is being evenly abraded (exfoliated)
- the skin is absorbing a medical grade treatment serum at the same time
- non-invasive, making this a great lunch time treatment
- used to optimize laser treatments also
You'll be most likely to find this treatment at a dermatologist's office. Price per treatment range from $100.00 to $300.00.
There's a diamond head tip that evenly abrades the skin. The tip ranges from high coarse to low coarse. There's also a "no-coarse" tip for those who just need infusion of serum and very little stimulation. The Silk Peel can be used on ANY skin condition. Men too! Hands too! It leaves the skin silky smooth and firm.
I love the way this treatment instantly rejuvenates, rehydrates and brightens my skin. I recommend getting the face, neck, chest and hands done. Treatment time is about an hour +/-. You can get a series of 6 to 8 treatments and/or monthly for maintenance.
I did a shorter series and was also using my retin-a, for a deeper result. I don't recommend getting this done if you're peeling from retin-a or really badly sunburned. Not while using accutane. The "no-coarse" tip would be best for pure hydration/no exfoliation.
There's a slight sandpaper feeling along with a little vacuum that sucks the dead protein cells (dead skin) off of the skin. It feels comfortable without being sissy-ish.
If you're skin needs a major pick me up, give this a try.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Spray
This is a go-to benign spritz(toner) for any skin condition. Toners should always be alcohol-free (as a reminder). This sprays on very fine and light and quenches the skin. Use it after cleansing to normalize the pH of the skin. Use it after applying foundation and/or mineral makeup to get rid of any dryness. The molecular structure of the ingredients is so small, it can reach through makeup and hydrate the skin without messing up makeup. Re-apply as often as you desire. Make sure you hold it about a foot or so away as to not drench the skin.
For a 5.2 oz bottle, it's around $10.00 at CVS.
I spritz throughout the day because I love keeping my skin as dewy as possible.
Try spraying this on right before both day & night serum/moisturizer as opposed to applying serum/moisturizer on a dry, tight skin. It'll help to carry your products in to the skin. That way you'll use less product because there's more slip on the skin. Totally safe for any skin especially skin that is over-dried from using acne medications both orally and topically. Your skin needs hydration!!!! Also wonderful for hot flashes and sunburned skin. Soothing.

Jarrow Formulas Organic Coconut Oil
A yummy, soft and inexpensive way to moisturize your body and scalp!
I LOVE the 100% natural pressed, organic coconut oil as the only ingredient.
I use about a nickel size for a body moisturizer. I use a dime size to massage into my scalp before shampooing once every 7-10 days.
You can find this at Whole Foods, Pharmaca or most natural food stores.
You could also cook with this oil, but keep a separate jar in the fridge for that! At around $6.00 for 16 oz., you could afford to buy two. Or you can always get a sealed container to scoop from one jar and refrigerate the rest for cooking. Just a thought.
Organic coconut oil is rich in vitamin e and k and also has anti-bacterial properties. It has such a wonderful slip and glide to it and smells so yummy.
It's very common for use in Ayurvedic skin care and is said to be a wonderful stress relief when warmed and massaged on the frontal bone (forehead). I'm smitten.
